Indispensable.

Review Score: (10/10)
If you are reading this, you already know how great this band was, and I will not repeat what you have read from others. What I can tell you is that this is a long awaited treat. It was released originally on vinyl and then came a cd version that did not contain all the tracks from the vinyl. This one does !

This is one of the most spectacular albums recorded live I have ever heard (Frampton comes alive is another, Erykah Badu live is another). I have had the privilege of seeing these blokes perform live three times and this is still better than any of the performances I attended... Like Mark King says at the beginning of "The chant has begun", You're gonna sit...

The album was recorded in 1985, but the music doesn't have a single wrinkle. Besides, songs like "Kansas city milkman", "Hotwater", or "Almost there" are even better than the studio version, which says a lot. You'll also find rareties ("88", "Mr. Pink", or the long bass solo on "Love games") that make this album unique and indispensable in your collection. A great example of superb jazz-funk made by Brits. You'll love it if you like the music of Herbie Hancock and Marcus Miller.
